Food Budget:  We decided to start tracking how much we spend on food/household expenses each month again in hopes to budget appropriately.  Wanting to keep our budget at $100 per person each month.   We are a household of 4 adults, 1 growing boy who eats like an adult.

Month of March Totals
Aldi – $105.39 +72.50  = $ 177.89
Walmart – $ 89.71+$85.19 = $ 174.90
Sam’s Club – $48.48 + 174.51 = $ 222.99

Total of food for March: $575.78 = $ 115.16 per person or  $143.95 per week on groceries.
